Thank you @Mark Kaine and @Mavendow, I do believe that the problem really is that the memory isn't on the QVL at this point. I will buy some that is and verify.
Thank you very much for your help!

Hi, I made something for you. There is some things that you can choose to change, to either save money, but it can be a good base to build on.

In gaming, the king is the intel i7-12700k. There is no point the go for the 12900k, it is more expensive, create more heat and is almost on par with the 12700.
 
For the cooler, personally I am not a fan of water cooling. It is more expensive and are usually cheap and brake after a while. They can be quieter, but noctua fan are pretty silent too. I went with the classic noctua UH-D15. (watch out I am not entirely sure, but I have heard that the intel 12th gen need new specialized mounting hardware because the chip is thinner. Something to look at) 
 
For the memory, if you want to stream and game at the same time 16gb will probably won't be enough, so I chose 32gb. As for the speed, I feel that past 3600mhz c16 there is marginal performance gains and will be a lot more expensive. (don't forget to enable xmp to activate the good memory speeds, if not it will stay at 2133mhz)
 
For the power supply, with your budget I would buy something like an rtx 3080 or higher (as much as you want to spend), the power usage on Nvidia rtx 3000 series seems to spike sometimes. That why I would come with something like a 1000 watt power supply.
 
For the GPU go with an rtx 3080 or higher.
 
The motherboard, I chose this one because it is in the lower range in price for motherboard with wifi. (YOU SHOULD NOT USE WIFI, but having Bluetooth seems useful to have)
 
For the storage, I chose a good nvme ssd with pcie 4.0. Personally, I think that you could save some money and go with a pci 3.0. You will never see the difference in real world. The big gains between the different pcie 3.0 and 4.0 is that sequential read and write speeds are faster. In the real world nothing is sequential, so you won't be able to tell the difference. It is possible that maybe in the future with direct storage (technology that will make game load faster) the loading time will be faster, but no game until now utilize the technology and we can't say if there is or not a difference. I chose 2tb because of your budget, but you could chose 1 tb instead to save money and use it on the graphics card.
 
The case is really to your liking.
 
For the screen, you don't seems to specify fps game or not. But I find that 4k screen really does make the difference. Game look a lot better than 1440p, and for web browsing and stuff I find it is well worth the upgrade (make text look a lot sharper). I chose one that is 144hz because the smoothness that it provide is well worth it. You could also look into the new samsung g7 (same basic specs), but it recently just came out and maybe wont be available. Check this video to see it compared to other similar screens. 
 
 

My 3090 FE spends most of its time with the fans off when I'm not in a game. Even with them on I can hardly hear it. 

A lot of cases trap hot air at the bottom so GPUs get only hot air and the fans run at a higher RPM.
 
Easy to test, open the case and see if that stops the GPU from being loud.

Did you look at any reviews?

Yes. Air coolers don't have much heat soak value, meaning that they can gain and lose a lot of heat in not a lot of time.

Yes. Do not worry about temperatures unless your system is reaching 95+ degrees under load. Rest of it doesn't really matter.

sounds like the cooler is doing its job,and doing it good,i wouldnt be concerned unless the temps went to like 95+ and didnt go down for a while,

kk then I think that I know what I am going to buy ahahaha an xps 13 thank you everyone!!!!!!!

whichever has the 8th gen Intel chip and better warranty.
 
For me it would be the XPS13 as A) it's a very sexy and small thing (like me ;)) and B) Razer stuff isn't sold here

kk then I think that I know what I am going to buy ahahaha an xps 13 thank you everyone!!!!!!!

Bought an xps 13 about 5 months ago to use for uni and its great. I usually don't charge it for ~3 days at a time and I use it frequently on campus.
 
Though, neither of these laptops have dedicated graphics cards, just so you know

XPS 13

I would choose the Dell over a Razer Blade.
 
Razer has a rather extensive history of problems with their laptops, and they're just overall low quality. Even LMG has had lots of problems.

Yeah buying overwatch probably was the better one I have and it is soooo fun

honestly just depends on how sensitive your data is and how much work you are willing to redo if you lose everything, personally we do weekly updates at the office I do work at.

The thing with backups is that, often, people don't care to ever test them. You will never know if your backups work until you test them.
 
Would you throw your main drive in the ocean for the cost of its replacement plus $500?
 
If your answer is YES and you do not have backups: You probably don't need backups.
If your answer is YES and you do have backups: You're either doing a fantastic job with testing your backups or you're just naive.
If your answer is NO and you do not have backups: You should probably backup your shit.
If your answer is NO and you do have backups: You either need to start testing those backups or you're just paranoid (not judging if you are)
 
Don't get me started on redundancy.

Short answer is yes.
All disks have a finite lifetime. Sooner or later they'll die, and they don't always warn you in advance so you can transfer your data.
As others said, only what is impossible/hard/costly to replace, or you deem worth saving: like media libraries, saves, work/school documents, etc.
The OS and programs can be reinstalled, there are restore points, etc. Not much point in backing them up.
Personally, I'd say neither: use a dedicated drive that isn't powered all the time, but only at backup time. If you are fine with storing it all in the cloud you can go for that as well, but understand what you are doing.
Raid isn't recommended as a backup unless you also have an actual backup behind it: it gives you protection agaisnt disk failure, but not against data corruption, accidental deletion, etc.

Never hurts to install a free anti-virus as well.  I personally like Bitdefender -- it runs in the background and doesn't bombard you with ads and offer (*cough* AVG *cough*).

I remember in the past, almost any time Linus ever brought up SSDs it was always followed by something along the lines of "if you use SSDs then it is highly recommended to back them up every night" and I was all thinking at the time the dude was very paranoid, making it sound like an SSD was a ticking time bomb, just waiting to die and lose all data.
 
Depending on what year you got your ssd, I'd say those made around 2014 and on would have very long life span and reliability for those not using them intensively. If you want to back up things just do what you don't want to lose. I seriously doubt every night is needed, if anything once a week

As long as you don't "have fun" on shady websites then you'll be fine. Just make sure when you are exploring websites that you don't click on a bad one. As for me, I'm just sticking with Windows Defender.

Windows Smart Screen is enough. Just be sure to be careful when windows smart screen can't verify the publisher.  

No Microsoft Security Essentials (Windows Defender) is more than enough.

if you have photos, use this https://photos.google.com/apps (like i mentioned before)
just installing at letting it run in the background and back stuff up can save a pain

back up your important documents, old game saves, etc in google drive. for photos use google photos. for a backup of your computer as a whole, create a system image you can restore to
